If you are a sponsor, check if there is specific information for sponsors in each section.  \nDo I have to let immigration know when I change my address?  \nIf you aren’t a U.S. citizen, you need to tell the United States Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS) where you are living. You have to tell them within 10 days every time you move or change your address.  \nU.S. citizens and non-citizens who “sponsor” an immigrant in the U.S. by signing an “affidavit of support” must also tell USCIS when their address changes. Sponsors have to report address changes within 30 days.  \nHow do I report a change of address?  \nThere are a few ways to report a change of address. The USCIS website has information about this [at](at www.uscis.gov/addresschange)[ ](at www.uscis.gov/addresschange)[www.uscis.gov/addresschange](at www.uscis.gov/addresschange).  \n• If you have a USCIS online account, you can change your address through that. If you don’t have an online account, you can create one.  \n• You can also fill out a paper form and mail it in, or  \n• You can report your change of address by phone  \nThe USCIS website is available in English and Spanish. You can fill out the change of address card online in English or Spanish. But the printable form is only in English.  \nNote: The process and address for filing a change of address is different if your case involves:  \n• a VAWA petition (domestic violence)  \n• a T Visa application (trafficking victim), or  \n• a U Visa application (crime victim)  \n• an I-751 waiver based on domestic violence/abuse.  \nThe process is different for these cases even if you became an LPR (got a green card) or if you apply for naturalization to become a citizen (Form N-400) .  \nGo to [http://www.uscis.gov/addresschange](http://www.uscis.gov/addresschange or)[ or](http://www.uscis.gov/addresschange or) talk to an immigration lawyer for these cases.  \nOnline:  \nTo file online you need to have a USCIS account. If you don’t have one you need to create one. Once you have an account, sign in and look for information about changing your address. The online form is available only in English.  \nMake sure you print out the verification page when you are done. This helps you prove you told USCIS about your new address.  \nIt can take USCIS 3-4 weeks to update your address in your file. For an urgent, last-minute change of address, it’s best to do it by phone (see below) .  \nBy Mail:  \nIf you want to mail the form in, [go to](go to www.uscis.gov/AR-11. Click on AR-11)[ ](go to www.uscis.gov/AR-11. Click on AR-11)[www.uscis.gov/AR-11.](go to www.uscis.gov/AR-11. Click on AR-11)[ Click on](go to www.uscis.gov/AR-11. Click on AR-11)[ ](go to www.uscis.gov/AR-11. Click on AR-11)[AR-11](go to www.uscis.gov/AR-11. Click on AR-11), Alien’s Change of Address Card Form (PDF, 301 KB) . The link opens the form. You can fill it in on the computer and print it, or you can print it out and fill it in by hand.  \nAfter you fill it in, make a copy for your records. The mailing address where you should send the form is on the second page of the form. It is a good idea to send the form by certified mailand ask for a return receipt. The post office can tell you how todo this. That way, you know when the USCIS gets it, and you can prove that you sent it if you need to.  \nBy Phone:  \nIf you need to update your address right away call USCIS Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you think your work permit or permanent resident card will be mailed to you very soon, it is a good idea to call if your address changed. You need to give them all of the same information that you would have to put on the Form AR-11, but you won’t have to fill out the form.  \nAt the end of the phone call, the USCIS Customer Service Representative should offer you a confirmation number.
